A question without easy answers. Most carnivores live an elusive life, what makes them vulnerable for misinterpretation of their status. Only thorough research and the building of reliable data can provide the right answers. But history shows that they often become already endangered long for the proof can be provided.

NABCS is aware of these risks and tries proactively to safeguard carnivores by initiating protective measures as well as conducting research.

WHY NABCS

North African Big Carnivore Foundation has discovered that the large predators, which appear in the Mediterranean, disappear at an alarming rate. Barbary Lion and Atlas bears are already extinct. Leopard, serval, caracal and striped hyena are next. Signals that we cannot let pass without having to take action against. The need to establish the large predators of North Africa safe, in their endangered existence is not easily seen and felt in the countries concerned. From the outside you see that often sharper, but solutions must be implemented by the countries themselves.

Due to a lack of knowledge about predators their presence in number and geographical distribution of the predators, NABCS has started to educate and train those involved in the detection of the last big predators. Crucial knowledge, because without this knowledge an extinct after all, cannot be perceived as a shortcoming. Every next step to take depends on this knowledge.
